If you find value in Open Arts Forum or the other sites I have started recently, please consider helping me to defray operating costs and supporting the site. Currently we're pretty far from the end-of-August goal, and I have a server bill coming due in September for almost $700. We outgrew the entry-level server that I started this site on, so I had to move to the second level, which puts us on an SSD, gives us more hard drive space, and, most importantly, more memory (we were consistently running out).
I recognize that these are uncertain times for many of us, so if contributing would stress you in any way, don't do it. If you're one of the lucky ones who can offer support, though, I thank you in advance, as I'm sure the other members of the site would.
If we do not reach the support goal, I will likely leave the site up anyway. However, I'm not sure how long I will continue footing the bill for these ventures mostly myself. I've cut out all advertising activities (that cost money) to try to cut down costs, but the effect of that is that our membership has stagnated, as you may have noticed.
Thanks again. Over & out.
